Abstract

ABSTRACT The provision of corrective feedback during oral interaction has been deemed an essential element for successful second language acquisition (Gass & Mackey, 2015a). However, corrective feedback—especially corrective feedback provided by peer interlocutors—remains understudied in naturalistic settings. The present mixed methods study aimed to identify the target and type of corrective feedback provided by both native-speaker and peer interlocutors during conversation groups while abroad. U.S. study abroad students (N = 19) recorded group conversations with native speakers (N = 10) at the beginning, middle, and end of a 6-week stay in Barcelona, Spain. Results indicate a significant decrease in the provision of corrective feedback by both native speakers and peer learners over the course of the program. Qualitative analyses revealed that both learners and natives alike engage in negotiations for meaning throughout the program, which for learners resulted in successful recall on tailor-made quizzes. The use of the first language by both the study abroad students and the native speakers promoted these opportunities in some instances. Results are discussed in terms of their contribution to the study abroad literature as well as to research into the effects of feedback on second language development.

在国外学习期间纠正反馈的机会:一种混合方法

在口语互动中提供纠正反馈被认为是成功习得第二语言的基本要素(Gass & Mackey, 2015)。然而，纠正性反馈——尤其是同伴对话者提供的纠正性反馈——在自然主义背景下仍未得到充分研究。本研究的目的是确定母语者和同伴对话者在国外会话组中所提供的纠正反馈的目标和类型。美国留学学生(N = 19)在西班牙巴塞罗那为期6周的逗留开始、中间和结束时，记录了与母语人士(N = 10)的小组对话。结果表明，在整个课程过程中，母语人士和同伴学习者提供的纠正反馈显著减少。定性分析显示，在整个课程中，学习者和母语者都参与了对意义的谈判，这对学习者来说导致了在量身定制的测验中成功的回忆。在某些情况下，海外留学生和母语人士都使用第一语言促进了这些机会。讨论了这些研究结果对国外研究文献的贡献以及对反馈对第二语言发展的影响的研究。

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Applied Linguistics publishes research on key topics in the broad field of applied linguistics. Each issue is thematic, providing a variety of perspectives on the topic through research summaries, critical overviews, position papers and empirical studies. Being responsive to the field, some issues are tied to the theme of that year''s annual conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics. Also, at regular intervals an issue will take the approach of covering applied linguistics as a field more broadly, including coverage of critical or controversial topics. ARAL provides cutting-edge and timely articles on a wide number of areas, including language learning and pedagogy, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, language policy and planning, language assessment, and research design and methodology, to name just a few.
